So I have recently signed up with NetGalley, and my first book for review that I requested was
The Shadow King
, due for release Jun 4th. It's a non-fiction book based on Tutankhamen and Howard Carter's discoveries surrounding the uncovering of Tut's untouched tomb.
This book was right up my alley, as anyone who has been following my own book along to publication would know. 18th Dynasty Egypt is something I've read A LOT about, and this only enhanced that. It focuses mostly on modern day research and technology which is being used to unravel the story of Tut's life.
If you have the patience for non-fiction, like me, you will find this fascinating. It doesn't use intense technical mumbo jumbo, so is understandable, but it's not a glossy picture book with history explanations attached along beside it. It's a real history book, and I loved it!
